Topic: Group Project #13 - Jango Fett (Read 19734 times)

Also here is my entry for the Group Project - Jango Fett. I know this isn't nearly the "Ultimate Jango Fett" but it suits my purposes. I can't compete with the great looking Jangos so far in this challege. I took a stab at him as a prisoner (without his armor). I hope to include this version in my photonovel.

I did paint up some armor but it is not set to fit him.

Recipe is very basicHead - Jango from the Saga line (not sure which one even)Body - Han Solo in Carbonite (Saga 2)

Dang it brentS... I was going for the removable armor jango.... you stole my thunder!! Great work, he does look like he's got a thermal detonator in his cheeks. I guess thats from hollowing?Great concept. Beautiful paint colors. great work.

I barely had time to work on this, but i started... We will see if any miracles happen tonight.

I chose to try my hand at the Pilot jango head sculpt without the headgear.I made a wax cast , then sculpted the rest of his head.

It surprised me how much i thought this ended up looking just like the EVO epIII clone head, when i didnt thinkthe evo head looked like jango at all.I then hollowed it to fit onto a ball joint.Here is the first cast.

Sorry for the blurry pics, i was rushing. He's the head cast.and the armor i was going after...

I wouldn't quite call my armor as "removable" I simply painted up a piece of the deluxe jango armor to make sure people didn't forget that he was still Jango.

I've gotten a lot of funny comments about his cheeks. Yes, you are all correct, this is a side reaction of hollowing out the face. I might try to make the ball joint a little smaller and give him back is natural cheekbones.

I was very pleased how well the painting on this one came out. I think its believable that could be what the jumpsuit looks like underneath the armor

I'm still amazed on how well your casting comes out. It looks perfect everytime. I still make a mess but I do occasionly get a decent cast. I've used up my first set of silicone. At least the liquid plastic doesn't get wasted as fast. I've got to buy more supplies.

I don't mean to hijack this thread but its about to roll off the screen anyway. I just ordered some new RTV to try making 2-piece molds. I've been sculpting/customizing some more Galactic Heros figures and I want to make casts of them before I paint them. My nephew's love these figures and I think they'd make cool birthday and christmas gifts. Anyway, back to the sort-of topic. I'm looking forward to trying to make some decent 2-piece molds but I'm expecting to struggle mightly. Glassman makes this look sooo easy

I aslo wanted to do a jango fett with the most articulation. So i thought of the most articulated figure...Agrueable Han Solo votc.... So I started to work with that...

I dremeled off all protruding details, and then sculpted on a flightsuit.

I also went back to the Jango fet head, I hollowed this to fit a ball joint. I cast pieces of the Deluxe jango and used one of the imprefect casts from when i was selling Mandalore helmets. A littlle bubble filling and its a perfect helmet ready to paint.

I just need to sculpt the armor, holster and belts. Hoping to keep them removable.
